Retro Imagery

 Genki is very proud of these latest images adorning the homepage kicking off with the Virtua Cop (as if you didn't know) inspired tribute above. Kikikaikai gets its own manga adventure below with even the pure Shinto priestess losing her rag.

 Space Fantasy Zone on the PC Engine has a luscious 80's feel to its artwork and is a fine tribute to a superb sixteen bit (?) console.

Our Graphic Designer was right to correct our suspect grammar, yet on this occasion we were making tribute to the fine shooter Zero Wing. (We compromised with the 's' on "Bases".) The graphics are from another sumptuous shmup in Border Down on the Dreamcast. Unfortunately other such grammatical and spelling errors on the website can't be so easily explained....

The mere text "Radiant Silvergun" is enough to get us excited about such a compact piece of programming. Believe the type.

Finally back to the modern era, we have the Platinum release of Muchi Muchi Pork & Pink Sweets on us now.  A true bargain - fingers crossed it'll be region fee....

Edge's Saturn Collectors Guide



Genki has always held Edge magazine in high esteem. Recently we may have lost touch a little, but its scoring system was always direct and accurate whilst others may have rode on the game's wave of hype and possible freebies. Credit was also due for making full use of the scoring system rather than just the top 30%. Covering the score up of a big release was essential to avoid any disappointment before even reading the review. A bit like watching Match of the Day without knowing the scores. The thrill of the Goldeneye N64 review, the perfect Mario 64 ten and amongst the cutting reviews came some fine guides to systems now out of circulation. The Edge Saturn Collectors Guide was a real bible and we have taken the liberty of identifying such titles on the site. Dodonpachi, Dracula X, Dungeons & Dragons, Guardian Heroes, Kingdom Grandprix, Metal Slug, Radiant Silvergun, Sengoku Blade, Strikers 1945 II, Thunderforce V... To name just a few that may or may not be in stock on the site. God bless the Saturn's tricky-to-programme-in-3D architecture for some sizzling 2D gameplay. Happy days.
